Description: "In December 2006, millions prayed and waited in anguish to learn the fate of three climbers trapped on Mount Hood near Portland, Oregon. A killer storm pounded the mountain with hurricane-force winds that would not permit the army of rescue workers to do their work. No one below could forget the last phone call Kelly James placed to his wife, Karen, and two older sons, telling tham that he was trapped in a snow cave just below the summit. What happened next would change the lives of everyone involved and deeply touch millions of people who desperately hoped to see a Christmas miracle."--Jacket.
